OOhh, it is beautiful! Yes, I hope it catches lots of vermin! We don't have many big type snakes around here, just little garter snakes, or at least I have never seen a big one & I'm always looking for something new!

that is a very nice looking snake. I am making great efforts to become friends with the snakes and I actually like to hold them now. We have some beautiful looking snakes out here, although I don't know the names of them. We also have the dreaded rattlesnakes that appear every once in a while.

Sweet! The only snakes I'm not fond of are Cottonmouth and their cousin the Copperhead. Rattlers will let me know they're there if I give them a chance. I grew up with no poisonous snakes where we lived so it was an experience for me not to get the willies when I came across a poisonous one. Great picture!

Everyone said it couldn't be done. But he with a chuckle replied, "I won't be one to say it is so, until I give it a try." So he buckled right in with a trace of a grin. If he had a worry he hid it and he started to sing as he tackled that thing that couldn't be done, and he did it. (unknown)

Hey BF!he/she is living in my pond now!.I put him in there right after I took the pics!I let loose all the snakes I get, but usually about a half mile or so down the road, near the cemeterys.If I dont do that, believe it or not, they'll get back into the pigeon coup!your friend,john

Beautiful snake! I get lots of both red and yellow rat snakes here. I generally just let them bee (they're great at getting rid of, not only rats/mice, but roaches as well). They are a pain in the hen house though, the big ones can eat 4-5 eggs at a sitting!Peace be yours,Scott

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
